Do you feel like food is controlling you, rather than the other way around?

Do you often compare your body and eating habits to others'?

I can help you ditch dieting and get healthy for good.

Hello! I’m Alexandra.

If you’ve been trying to “eat better” for very long, you’ve probably attempted multiple programs. In the process, you’ve likely encountered this common idea:It’s not a diet. It’s a lifestyle.

I happen to agree—but with most fad programs, that “lifestyle” feels terrible. You either obsessively count nutrients, or you restrict calories or food groups. You either drop a ton of money on program foods, or you spend hours prepping meals. You either host all the dinner parties at your place so you can control the menu, or you never see your friends.

Sure, that’s a lifestyle. But who wants it?

As a registered dietitian, I’ve helped hundreds of people—of all shapes and sizes—developpersonalized nutrition and lifestyle plans that stick. You’ll love the food you eat and the way you feel.

3. Feel Confident!

Lifestyle plans for every body.

You want to feel better—physically, emotionally, and mentally. You have a general sense that how you feel is connected to what you eat, and you’re willing to make some changes. But you’re discouraged because changes you’ve made in the past just haven’t stuck.

I want you to know you’re not the problem; the diet industry is the problem.

Trying to follow restrictive plans sets up most people for failure. They feel ashamed when they go off-plan, they feel frustrated when fast results don’t last, and they feel like they’re being held prisoner by food.

There’s simply no cookie-cutter diet that works for everybody… or every body. But when you follow a personalized nutrition plan designed just for you, amazing things happen:

You’ll have the energy to get on the floor and play with your kids or grandkids.

You’ll feel comfortable in your own body, so you’ll stop comparing yourself to the Instagram ideal.

You’ll enjoy going out with your friends and family again because no foods are “off limits.”

You’ll stop obsessing about every calorie and know you’re nourishing your body in the best ways.

Eating healthy doesn’t have to be complicated.

This is my new favorite recipe and just may be my favorite recipe on all of Feast of Green. It's impossible to beat the simple combination of sweet potato and za'atar, but these have additional layers of flavor from tahini, feta cheese, and just a hint of garlic....

My husband and I recently found out that we're expecting a girl (yay!) and wanted to surprise a few of our closest friends with a gender reveal via food (of course). Unfortunately, my husband blew the surprise a few days early, (but it was easy to forgive an excited...
